New Delhi, October 18, 2025: Actress Shefali Shah is celebrating a professional high this festive season as the release date of Delhi Crime season 3 was announced just before Diwali. She described the announcement as a “divine intervention” and likened it to a Diwali firecracker, saying it feels like a “patakha.” Shah revealed that fans had been eagerly asking about the next season, and it took effort for her to keep the secret. With the announcement now out, she feels the show will extend the joy of Diwali for her and the audience.

Shefali shared her love for Diwali, calling it her favorite festival. She said the festival brings fun, nostalgia, and childlike excitement. “I feel more childlike than my own kids at times,” she laughed. For her, every part of Diwali is special, from the puja rituals to decorating the house and spending time with close family and friends. She enjoys the food, dressing up, and the overall festive spirit.

Recalling her childhood memories, Shefali said Diwali was always a big celebration. Her family would wake up early to the smell of firecrackers, and she would help her mother make rangoli designs for Goddess Lakshmi. She described feeling very protective of the decorations, often staying up all night to assist her mother. “The aura of Diwali has always been deeply embedded in me,” she added.

Shefali also spoke about the personal meaning of Diwali. Beyond the lights and celebrations, she sees it as a time to value the people she loves, including her husband, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah, her children, and her pets. She highlighted the importance of being kind to oneself, saying that while people often extend love to others generously, they rarely do the same for themselves. Shefali shared that she has learned to embrace self-love and indulgence, which has helped her feel stronger.

Gift-giving is another tradition Shefali cherishes. She prefers personally selecting and packing gifts rather than ordering them online. This year, she went to Mumbai’s Crawford Market to pick materials for her gifts, enduring the heat and dust to make her selections. She said she enjoys giving gifts more than receiving them, though she jokingly suggested it might be time for others to start giving her gifts as well.

With Delhi Crime season 3 releasing just before her favorite festival, Shefali Shah feels the timing is perfect, adding an extra layer of excitement to her Diwali celebrations. The show’s release, combined with her deep love for the festival, promises to make this Diwali memorable for both the actress and her fans across India.
